Whether
you feed these minerals to horses, cattle or goats, the results are
the same: Great health! The
Dolomitic lime gives
calcium for good bones and magnesium to calm the animal and helps
navicular in horses.

Sulfur
makes the body able to assimilate selenium and helps prevent worms
and fungi as well as providing amino acids necessary to grow strong,
healthy hair, horn and hoof.
Diatomaceous earth provides many minerals silica among them, and
is a mechanical wormer for the whole gastro-intestinal tract.

Kelp
provides many minerals including selenium and boron (the boron also
helps the body to assimilate the selenium).

Copper
sulfate helps prevent worms and fungi, it is necessary for the
making of red blood cells and is needed for the color pigment in
hair, and it has many other benefits.
Raw apple cider vinegar
is a good source of potassium, balances the blood PH, helps make
birthing much easier, helps prevent urinary calculi and helps
navicular in horses. This just brushes the surface.

This way of feeding does a lot more than I
could write. Talk about healthy animals…..if you feed this
way, watch them bloom! The horses will shine and dapple out!
And the animals will actually feel good and calm. Give the
minerals time to work, you might see results quickly, or it might
take 6 weeks before a noticeable improvement is seen, but it works.

Note: Concerning picky horses….start
slowly on the copper and sulfur, as they have a different taste that
they might need a couple of days to get used to. Some horses,
especially those that aren’t spoiled with “candy” feeds, or if the
horse is in real need of minerals, you can start out with the whole
grain/mash/mineral mixture and they’ll eat it right up….their bodies
need the healthy nutrients.

We soak the grain for 8-10 hours with Raw apple cider vinegar in
the soak water to make it more easily digestible, more nutritious as
well as keeping the horses more hydrated.
The raw apple cider vinegar in the soak water also helps in eliminating
phytate, and helps unlock minerals and nutrients in the grains as
well as providing a good source of potassium and enzymes.
We use whole barley because when it is
rolled, the nutrients are all gone through all the processing.

For the
Corn;
We soak it in water with 1 handful of
rye grain for every quart of corn (rye produces Phytase which is
necessary to eliminate phytate. Corn is high in Phytate and very
low in phytase.)
And
1/8 of a cup of raw apple cider vinegar to every quart of corn. (the
raw apple cider vinegar is also very helpful in eliminating Phytate
and unlocking minerals)

(grass pellets when
soaked will swell to 2 – 3 times their size) We
Soak the mash for 8 to 12 hours.
The ratio of grass pellets to bran is 3 parts un-soaked timothy
grass pellets to 4 parts dry bran.

With the bran
add;
1 handful of rye grain for every quart of bran (rye produces Phytase which
is necessary to eliminate phytate in the bran.)
1/8 of a cup of raw apple cider vinegar to every quart of bran.

When the grains and mash are soaked they are
not only more digestible, but also help keep the horses hydrated.

An additional couple of benefit are:
1. The
droppings after a couple of months of feeding will break apart
easily on the ground, decompose easily and thereby replenish the
minerals back into the soil.
2. The fly population after a couple of
months of feeding the minerals will be dramatically reduced, as the
fly larvae that hatch in the manure will be exposed to the
diatomaceous earth in it as well.
We also used the natural fly
predators on a monthly basis. When we were in
Florida
through the summer, we had no fungus on the horses and so little
flies that the horses weren’t switching their tails in the fields.

EXCELLENT BOOKS TO HAVE IN YOUR LIBRARY
ARE;

The operators manual for the world (the Bible)

Pat Colebys, “Natural Horse Care” &

“Natural Goat Care”

We have personally reviewed the horse and goat books and Pat Coleby has done a very good job writing them, she does have
other books as well.

Kelp meal:Azure Standard: Thorvin Kelp for animals, it's the best
product and the best price....only serves Washington/Oregon.
If you are somewhere else, look up Thorvin kelp distributors in your
area.

Pulverized Dolomitic Lime; (make sure it’s just pulverized lime, not man-made stuff and no
chemicals added)www.JollyGerman.com
out of Colorado has
EXCELLENT feed grade dolomite from lead free mines.

Lowes lumber store carries GreenAcres Dolomitic
Lime, it's a better price, but you have to put it through a screen
to make sure it's powder without rocks.

Flicks natural fly spray;
By animal Legends

For a natural fly spray, we use Flick’s horse spray, it’s
inexpensive, great for the skin/coat and we’ve used it for years
with great success. You can find the refill concentrate that
will make a gallon of spray for around $30.00 at most tack stores,
like State Line Tack, etc.
